Does anyone have experience with feeding pure alfalfa pellets to rabbits? I'm not talking about a "complete" rabbit feed but rather the alfalfa pellets that I understand are sometimes fed to goats.
For some reason, the hay available this year has very poor alfalfa content. It's a decent grass hay, but I'm concerned about the protein levels for the rabbits over the winter. So I am considering buying alfalfa pellets to make up the difference. They cost about $12 for a 50 pound bag and I think that would go a long way, seeing as it would be just one component in their diet. They would also be getting whole grains, grass hay and as much fresh food as I can manage in the winter months. They would also have a mineral block.
